Ma'am

LV, chubby people are the preferred people to befriend with:they are warm-hearted and nice as opposed to thin people. Our bard says in Julius Caesar through Caesar's mouth:

"Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous."
